Everything was awesome! We went swimming and stayed the night for a birthday party and everything went awesome. Everything was clean and neat in the rooms but the elevator and hallways are still outdated. But looks like they're working to get it fixed. But overall great stay. We got upgraded to a deluxe room because there were no standard rooms available which was fine by us! Will definitely be back.

I've stayed at most of the Minocqua motels over the years, and I think, for a basic room, this is probably the nicest and best value in town. Rooms are large, modern, and comfortable. It is nice to have the pub and food available onsite, though the selection is pretty limited. Two quibbles: (1) the breakfast offering is pretty basic, though typical for motels, and (2) I wish the rooms had carpet. My room had bare vinyl plank flooring throughout, which seems a bit cold.

Liked: Staff & service
We waited at the counter for check in for 10 minutes till someone came & then they fidnt know what they were doing. We wanted to use the sleeper sofa for a child, but it was grossly dirty & hairy, so we didn't after all

Great updates being made.to the rooms. The beds were so comfy too!! We didnt have a coffee maker in our room but the buffet was close that it was an easy walk for coffee each morning. Love staying here. Brings back memories.from when we got married here! Will be back!

The Waters is a great place when you want kid fun but not Wisconsin Dells prices. We go several times a year when visiting our grandkids (ages 8 & 9) up north. The indoor water park is small, with 2 pools, a great slide, and a little kiddie fun pool. The rooms are big and bright, and the staff is always pleasant and welcoming. The only shortfall is the limited dining, which is pretty much pub fare. Not much for vegetarians except frozen crust pizza. But the grandkids like mini corn dogs, so it’s fine.
